Description
1) Objective
This program supports NGO efforts to enable women as equal participants in economic, civic, and political life in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Proposals that go beyond awareness building to promote action or create behavior change or institutional change will be particularly competitive. We also encourage proposals that build solidarity among women from different cities, political parties, or ethnic groups, and that support vulnerable and marginalized women in BiH.
- Advancing women’s participation in the economic life of BiH in business, the arts, law, education, healthcare, science, and other sectors. (Proposals may not include vocational training.)
- Advancing women’s participation in politics and amplifying women’s voices and leadership on issues that affect citizens of BiH
- Increasing the potential of girls and young women to become leaders in their schools, communities, and country.
- Preventing gender-based violence and all other forms of mistreatment of women, such as sexual harassment and workplace discrimination; strengthening support from institutions and civil society to victims of gender-based violence and discrimination.
- Organizing grassroots projects that help strengthen civil society, connect women across social divides, and improve the quality of life for women in their communities and across BiH.
